Where to Donate Your Used Clothes – Tips for an Easy Donation

Don’t let your perfectly good used clothing sit in your closet or in storage. Make a fresh start for yourself and others when you donate to those in need!

A Few Tips Donating

Clothing of all types are needed but in order for them to be fully appreciated please be sure your donations are clean and undamaged. It’s also more helpful when they aren’t out-of-date with current styles.

Here are other tips for donating:

Women buy and donate clothing more often than men do so there is a shortage of men’s clothing for those in need.

Underwear and socks are always the most needed items. However, these items need to be new and unopened.

While you’re clearing out your closets, look for blankets and sleeping bags for those living on the street or without adequate heating in their home.

Black shoes with rubber soles are always needed.

When you donate purses or backpacks you make carrying personal belongings easier, especially for those who rely on walking, biking, or public transportation.

Donating clothing and other items truly is a win-win for everyone, so don’t pass up the opportunity to make a difference!
